Its on it way!!!!! Wooohooo

[K1W1]

surely the captain can put the ship in 'park', put the handbrake on & "play rock the boat" or "spin the skoda off the deck" till he gets the green light to come in & dock!!!

That's not a very big area they are going around it it's probably just tidal movement if they aren't anchored. I suspect that parking and restarting one of those things would cost an absolute fortune probably more than just keeping it idling into the wind.

Do you guys know if any dealers have also ordered stock in this shipment for their display rooms?.......

Just phone one up. They have a database of every Skoda in the country (and every Skoda that's on it's way) and who they are going to whether they are dealer stock or customer orders. The Superb that had the specs I wanted was in MEL and the dealer trucked it up to SYD for me.

Only problem with that link is that it only tracks when close to land.. which its not any more.

[K1W1]

Does that mean it sunk with the loss of all cargo?

[CanberravRS]

hahhahaha no the other site shows its well into the Indian ocean. its still on target with its port dates which is cool

After doing the weekly check to see if the Otello escaped Somalian pirates, I noticed the ETA date to Port Kembla has changed back to a whole one day earlier... 31/10/10.

One day less to wait I guess!

[CanberravRS]

Yes, 4 weeks to go to expected hand over of the keys into my hands too... So looking forward to having the first Storm Blue V6 Superb Wagon in the country. Getting very excited!

I'm being a bit cheeky and crashing your thread guys, I'm a usual poster on the bmw group BIMMERPOST | BMW Forum, BMW News and BMW Blog and have been tracking my bmw on the OTELLO also! If you're quick, you can catch a webcam of it in port at the Fremantle docks! I'm slightly obsessive too...
